How about a bar underwater? Guinness did it. A London based architecture firm Jump Studios renovated the interior of an old submarine to create an undersea bar. The idea is build around the Guinness branding “Alive Inside.”
The engineering result is obvious. A freaking cool underwater beer bar. The winner(s) that got to party under the sea with Ariel and Sebastian came from 250th celebration of celebration a few years ago. As you can see in the image below, Jump Studios sculpted seating and tables into the space, while maintaining the underwater feel.
The first ever Guinness Deep Sea Bar, which recently plunged the depths of the Baltic sea in the Stockholm Archipelago… The solution was a fluid concept, constructed from GRP (glass reinforced plastic), that captures the feeling of being ‘immersed in a dynamic, flowing experience’.
We worked alongside carpentry and engineering specialist Nicholas Alexander on the construction of the interior, which had to meet stringent marine specifications on matters such as ventilation and fire safety, while also satisfying the operational requirements of the submarine.
The winners were flown to Belgium and then plunged to the bottom of the Baltic Sea.

Sun King recently did something you have seen a small brewery do. Put their beer in the Alumi-tek Resealable Can (Read: Sun King/Oskar Blues). You’ve seen Coors Light do it. Sun King also uses the same can design for all their seasonal offerings, but adds a sticker to designate which seasonal it is.
Sun King seems like a “next level” kind of brewery. So enter this little nugget of beer nerd/beer cool. Sun King is starting a barrel-aged program, and a sour beer program. Cool right? Wait. I’m starting a new paragraph for this.
Sun King is looking to package these beers in the Alumi-tek cans. Yeah, we’ve always joked about this. KBS in cans. Black Tuesday in cans. Hell, someone even asked me on Saturday if Sierra Nevada will can Bigfoot. Sun King is starting with Johan Barleywine apparently.
The sour program launches by the end of the year. Side Note: A reader astutely pointed out that Great Crescent Brewery has canned Bourbon’s Barrel Stout. Good catch. [DraftMag]
